This is based on one of my all time favorite commander decks to play. Seriously its so fun. You get to ramp like crazy and draw like a million cards. There are so many ways to use the same cards for either tempo or comboing out and winning its amazing. Games are over fast. The deck just has a great matchup against pretty much anything but dedicated control. Something which could be said for many decks in the Brawl format.

How The "Combo" Works

Blinking, bouncing and copying effects drawing a ton of cards is the "combo". They are extremely flexible in this deck. They draw a ton of cards targeting Tishana late game. Blink effects also work like a counterspell to protect an important creature from opposing spot removal. It's not hard to accumulate a 20 something card hand at the opponent's end step and attack for the win the next turn.

Its unfortunately kind of a glass cannon and very weak to board wipes. If we have 5 or 6 lands in play, and have already drawn cards off casting a Tishana, a board wipe isn't that bad. Its the early ones that hit before casting Tishana that really slow down progress and wreck games. If we get our first wave of mana dorks wiped away too early, then its potential for winning drops quite a bit. I've been adding counter magic to protect from this, but its the decks Achilles Heel. It's important to play cautiously and not run into a situation where a board wipe kills everything you have if possible.

Killing this commander is often a mistake if you are playing vs. this deck, because I usually try to recast her as often as possible. Unless I somehow couldn't get value from casting her or could not afford to cast her, she is pretty crucial for our normal game plan. There are ways to win without her but she does it best. The backup backup wincon is chipping away with mana dorks...maybe win with Overcome? Tishana's the primary win condition and the card draw engine, so without her available the deck isn't nearly as explosive.

Here's the EDH deck this is based on:

About Brawl

It's just terrible for 1v1, so I'm not in love with the format in general. But I thought I would try it out a little at least. And its ok. The majority of my online play tends to be 1v1 because the games are faster. Long games are not my preference when it comes to online gaming. But 1v1 games have been very hit or miss in fun level so far.
